Speaker of the Assembly Carl Heastie and City Council Member Kevin Riley have both grown up near the park. They say this is a full-circle moment.
"When I got elected to City Council, I made it my mission to upgrade the park,” Riley says. “Growing up in the community, the park has always looked the same.”
Haffen Park contains many amenities, including a pool, a basketball court and a jungle gym area.
Riley and Heastie say residents should decide what improvements they want to see in the park and they encourage residents to reach out to them.
